Neck Sweep & Drain

🦢 Neck & Double Chin · updated September 2026

60 seconds🔁 1 round

Targets: neck lymph flow, puffiness

How to do it

  1. 1Apply a drop of oil or moisturizer to the sides of your neck.
  2. 2With flat fingers, sweep gently from behind the ears down the neck to the collarbone.
  3. 3Repeat 10 sweeps per side, light pressure only.
  4. 4Finish with 3 gentle presses into the notch above the collarbone.

Why it works

  • Encourages the drainage pathway the whole face empties into
  • Do it FIRST — it makes every other de-puffing move work better
  • Deeply calming for the nervous system

Common mistakes

  • Heavy pressure (lymph vessels sit just under the skin — light wins)
  • Sweeping upward instead of down
  • Dry dragging
